To prepare, drain the liquid from the can. You can then heat the beans by simmering them gently on the stovetop for a few minutes until they are warmed through. Alternatively, they can be added directly to casseroles, soups, or stews during the cooking process, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the dish. For a quick side, simply season them with salt, pepper, and a touch of butter or olive oil.
